"Of course, it's not instant poisoning." Cindy chuckled. "There's a kind of slow-acting poison. I'll give her a bit during
meals, and over time, the poison will take effect in her body... They say even forensic experts find it hard to identify
this poison!"
Jodie nodded without saying more, half skeptical. She didn't care what kind of poison was used. What she wanted
was for Maisie to disappear from this world! -
After seeing off Wilfred, Maisie gently hooked her arm around Daniel's, giving him a sweet smile.
Daniel affectionately pinched her nose.
"Someone once said I should learn to grow up, right?"
Daniel smiled without saying a word.
"So why did you follow me again?" Maisie's eyes twinkled.

Maisie playfully hit him, but the second time, Daniel held her fist. "Of course, I feel like contract details should be my
responsibility, too, right?"
"Then how should I thank you?"
"You know what I want."
"Daniel, you..."
"Let's do this." Daniel didn't make it difficult for her, pointing at his own cheek.
Maisie smiled, tiptoed, and lightly kissed his cheek.
One kiss on the left wasn't enough. He also wanted one on the right—then the forehead, the tip of the nose, leaving
no spot untouched. Finally...
Maisie blushed slightly, glanced around, and teasingly gave him a peck on the lips.
"Is that all?"
"There are too many people here..."
"Oh, okay." Daniel's eyes curved as he smiled. "Then let's find a place with no one around. Show me your gratitude
properly. How about that?"
Maisie felt shy, reaching to hit Daniel, but he embraced her.
At that moment, two coughs came from behind them.
Daniel turned around, his subordinate looking embarrassed and hesitant. After a moment's thought, he asked
Maisie to wait in the car for him.
"What's the matter?"
His subordinate said softly, "Mr. Quimby, Mr. Chris Hamerton and Ms. Harding are waiting in the hotel lobby to meet
you."

mention it in front of Maisie. Understood?"
"Yes."
The subordinate led Daniel in.
As soon as Chris and Lena saw him, they got straight to the point. "Uncle Daniel, we've brought the results from the
previous tests today."
"Good." Daniel nodded. "What were the results?"
Chris produced the test report with a serious look.
Lena spoke softly. "The results are peculiar. The three samples belong to Maisie, Jodie, and Delilah, but the results
show that there's no blood relation among the three!"
"What?" Daniel was surprised.
"We all speculated that Jodie is not from the Newhouses." Chris continued. "So it's normal that she's not related to
Delilah. But Maisie isn't Delilah's daughter either... Could our speculations have gone wrong?"
